♫MONSTER - Chandler Leighton♫

We prepare ourselves mentally and physically, hardening the atmosphere and our emotions. I let my arms brush my thighs gracefully as we walk into the mansion. The main doors open and two men in butler tuxedos and mascaraed masks walk to us and begin speaking. "You all must be here for the kings party." One of them states with a secretly menacing expression. I nod with a warning chuckle "It seems so." They let out soft and meaningless chuckles and begin to walk us into the building. I hear mumbling and focus my hearing on the incoming group behind us. "Who are they?" "Is she with them?" I smile to myself, thriving in the attention. I turn my head softly to get a glimpse of the boys and meet eyes with a tall bunny looking boy. The boy smiles softly making me return the favor and wink quickly before turning back to my members. The butlers take us to the top floor where the party is being held. "Here you are, it seems as though you won't need us anymore." One of them states, causing us to look at them. "Good luck." The quieter one states in a sinister yet hushed manner before they walk away to the group from before. My eyebrows furrow based on the phrase and the tone of voice used making me turn to the boys next to me to me and see their puzzled expressions as well. I catch the gaze of Hyunjin and send him a reassuring wink, attempting to ease the uncomfortable situation. He smiles softly, looking down and trying to harden his resolve. I turn to the boys and pull us in a circle. "Let's split up into groups of two and one group of three, then we can gather more information quicker and also be safe if we get into any... trouble." I state and look at Chan who nods at me with a wink of validation. "Good job" he mouths and I nod. We inform everyone of the code names to use for each person as people begin to pick their partner(s).  "I'll go with you, Nyx." I turn to the voice and see a serious Leeknow. I nod and walk to him before informing the group of our departure and heading off. "What should we do first?" He asks as we walk slowly, giving me enough time to scope the ballroom out. "Let's explore, see if we can find anything worth finding." He chuckles quietly and nods, Hardening his resolve once more. We walk together, slowly moving through the halls and checking the doors, only leaving if they were locked yet making a mental note to break in later if something goes wrong. As we come back up from the ballroom hall we hear the voices of a few men, 5 as it sounds like. We look at each other with cocked eyebrows and step back, leaning to the wall as to not be seen. As the men talk, we barely hear their conversation except for a few words every now and then. "Her? ..... You sure? ..... Them? ...... Your right ...... Wait ....." their conversation stops abruptly causing my heart beat to quicken. Footsteps begin echoing through the ballroom as they get louder and louder. Just as the men are about to turn the corner where Leeknow and I reside, I hold my hands behind Leeknows neck. "I'm so sorry." I whisper before smashing my lips on his, attempting to disguise our search for information as a make out session. Leeknow tenses at first but quickly settles in, holding my waist in his hands and deepening the kiss. The footsteps pause and they begin to whisper, "I guess you're too late Soobin." The man ends his sentence as the footsteps fade away into the background music playing in the ballroom. I disconnect mine and Leeknows lips resting our heads together as we regain our composure and breath. We breathe in and out harshly, the warmth of his hands radiating more intensely to my waist the longer he keeps them there. "Don't be sorry." He breathes out, smirking softly. I smile at the boy and peck him once more before untangling our bodies and slightly stepping back. I look at his lips, red from the harsh kissing yet no transfer from my lips. "Thank God my makeups make out proof." I chuckle, causing the man in front of me to chuckle as well. We discuss our plan of action before heading inside to the ballroom. We branch out, deciding to flirt around and see if anyone has any inside information. I look around to see the guy I winked at earlier. I bring a smile to my face and walk to him confidently, swaying my hips with elegance. He stands on his side of the ballroom as I walk to him, keeping eye contact the entire time. I stop walking halfway and he gets the memo, smiling and beginning to walk towards me. We meet in the middle and he gently takes my hand in his, bringing it to his face and kissing the back of it. "My lady." I smile, winking at the boy. "Who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?" He asks seductively. "You'll have to wait and find out Pretty Boy." He chuckles at me, keeping my hand in his while gently rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. "I have all the time in the world." He states with a flirtatious smile and a precious wink. "Can I interest you in a dance?" I ask the boy and his he smiles, "I'm already interested." He lifts my hand up elegantly as we walk to the middle of the ballroom. He straightens our arms out together as his other arm goes to my waist as mine goes to the back of his neck. He sways us as we move, stepping in a circle and spinning every once in a while. "What company are you under?" I ask him and he chuckles, leaning us into eachother, "I'm from Hybe, and what's yours?" He responds as well as asking me amother question, causing me to chuckle. "I'm from JYP, originally YG but there were... complications." I look into his eyes and he nods understandably. "Do I have the pleasure of knowing your name, my lady?" He asks sweetly and I nod smiling. "Sayo." I say, using the code name I was almost given at YG before my short protest. "Sayo." He repeats, "What does it mean?" I smile and look up at him, "Born at night." He smiles, "Were you?" I shake my head, chuckling. "No, but this path was." He nods once more with understanding. "And yours?" I ask him as he smiles once more. "Choi Soobin."
